Growth Response of Sunflower to Potassium Sulphate Application in Saline-sodic Soil

Defensive Impact of Foliar Applied Potassium Nitrate on Growth Linked with Improved Physiological and Antioxidative Activities in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Hybrids Grown under Salinity Stress

“…The foliar application of K by 500 ppm increased various growth attributes like the number of leaves, plant length, leaf area, fresh and dry plant weight, and capitulum size compared with the control. Zaman et al [16] reported that K + is parallel to Na + , many K transporters do not distinguish between these cations. Salinity indicated an adverse accumulation of sodium ions in the plant cell.…”

“…The foliar application of 1% K significantly increased the plant height, as well as the morphological and physiological parameters [15]. K + is the most common nutrient in the triad group including N and K. K + is well known for accelerating the enzymatic activity and speeds up enzymatic metabolism [16]. Even though the literature points out that the exogenous application of K has a positive effect on sunflower productivity.…”

Combined Sulfur and Organic Compost Treatment Influences Nutrient Uptake and Photosynthetic Activity to Improve Growth and Yield of Sunflower

“…Achene yield results from the combined effects of the different yield components, and variations in output are likely to occur. Due to sulphur levels, significant variations in achene yield were observed (Uz-Zaman et al, 2018). The maximum biological yield was obtained with sulfur compared to control (Kelly et al, 2017).…”
